AB - The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of the lower variables of spiritual well-being of religious well-being and existential well-being in the relation between gratitude and depression of Christians. The subjects of study were 339 Christians above age 20 and gratitude scale, spiritual well-being scale and depression scale were conducted. Using SPSS WIN 18.0, correlation analysis and the mediation regression analysis presented by Baron & Kenny (1986) were conducted. The Conclusions drawn from the analyses are as follows. First, gratitude was positively correlated with spiritual well-being and negatively correlated with depression, while showing that spiritual well-being was negatively correlated with depression. Second, it was found that the lower variables of spiritual well-being of religious well-being and existential well-being had a partial mediating effect in the relation between gratitude and depression. Namely, gratitude had direct effects on depression but it had indirect effects through the mediation of the lower variables of spiritual well-being of religious well-being and existential well-being. Such result implies that the role of gratitude is important in decreasing Christians’ depression and there is a need to increase spiritual well-being. Accordingly, this study providing information on a new resource of gratitude and spiritual well-being in decreasing the depression of Christians. Finally, implications and limitations of the study, directions for future research were considered.
